Apple's 2022 biggest event on Sept 7: iPhone 14 series, Apple Watch series 8, AirPods Pro 2 & more launching

This week, Apple will host the biggest event of the year. This Wednesday, September 7, is the day of the company's "Far Out" event. The Cupertino-based tech company is rumoured to introduce a number of physical goods during this virtual launch event, including the much anticipated iPhone 14 series.

On September 7, at 10:30 IST, the event will begin. Unlike previous years, this year's event is anticipated to be a recorded video rather than a webcast from Apple Park. At the event this week, Tim Cook will once again take the stage and make a number of product announcements.

The business hasn't given much information about the products it will unveil at the event, but rumours and leaks indicate that there will be new iPads, iPhone series, Apple Watch, AirPods, and more.

iPhone 14 series

The newest iPhone will be released at the event on September 7 and is the most anticipated. Apple will stop making the iPhone Mini with the release of the iPhone 14 series, which also includes the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are expected to represent this year's largest development. According to reports, both high-end iPhones will have a new design that will do away with the notch, which has been there for a while, in favour of a pill-shaped hole-punch cutout on top.

Apple Watch Series 8

Each year, Apple also introduces the Apple Watch along with the iPhone. According to rumours, the business will introduce the Apple Watch Series 8 and two other Apple Watch models this year. Numerous new health functions are said to be included in the Apple Watch Series 8, and some sources even suggest that the wristwatch may have a new design that will give it an entirely different appearance. The Apple Watch Series 8 will have the same sensors as the Apple Watch Series 7, in terms of their capabilities.

Additionally, there are rumours of an Apple Watch Pro, which is supposedly a new, more powerful version of the Apple Watch. According to rumours, the Apple Watch Pro will have a display that is around 7% larger than the current model. Titanium is anticipated to be the design material for the Apple Watch Pro. Along with the Series 8 this year, Apple is also anticipated to release a new Apple Watch SE model.
